I'm trying to charge my Canon battery for my Rebel XTI camera. I have a Canon Battery Charger for LC E5. The Battery pack is LP-E5. The battery fits into the charger and a red light comes on. It doesn't flash. It remains constant. I've had it in the charger for 4 hours, and it doesn't turn green. Is the battery fully charged if there's a constant red light and no green light? Thank you.

Yes. There should be a constant green light when it is completely charged.What does the battery status show when plugged to the camera? If it show full then then there is problem with the charger not the battery.ThanksKindly r ...

I have an olympus 'mju' 700 camera which uses li-ion 42b battery and a li-40c charger. Whenever i charge my batteries, the charging light would start flashing (which is not the sign of charging because the light should be still) and when this happens, the battery would not charge. The only way i could make my battery charge was to slot the battery in the charger whilst the power is on (usually, i slot the battery in then turn on the power).
But i was using my batteries on a day out, 2 days aft

It sounds like Amazon might have sold you a defective charger radio shack has a universal charger for your battery. Around 49.00 I got one and it works great I would first have you battery tested by a place like batteries plus to make sure yours is g ...

My LI42 battery won't charge for my Olympus 790 SW.
The charging light comes on, then flashes, then turns off within about a minute. The battery does not charge at all during this time.
My manual does not say anything about a flashing light on the charger and I can't figure out if my battery is the problem or my charger.

Problem is most likely the battery. Try getting a new battery of the same specifications and see. That is the cheaper option. If that still does not work, then it could be the charger. ...

Hello!
I got my Sandstrom SBTHP11X about a month ago. But now I'm already having troubles with turning them on. I have held down every button, double clicked everything etc. And when I put them in the charger, they light up red. Then after becoming fully charged(green light), I take them out, they don't work. I put them back in the charger, but the red light comes back again. It seems that it's incapable of charging.. Do you have any tips?

"Return the item to the point of sale for replacement" is the advice from Sandstrom support. And if that ones breaks within one month too, I guess repeat the process... ...

My nikon s203 battery will not charge. When the charger is plugged in, the light is red. When I put the battery in it, the light just flashes red really fast and will not charge. I have left it on overnight before, but it still will not charge. Is it a problem with my battery or my charger? I have not even had the camera for a year yet.

I just started having the same exact problem. I took it one step further and put the battery on a meter and it checks out at the rated 3.7 volts. Plus, the camera will not turn on. This problem is not covered in the "troubleshooting" guide of the own ...

Canon SD30 I just recieved my brand new CanonSD30 in the mail, it says that i need to charge the battery on the charger for 90 minutes and the light will be orange until it is fully charged and should be taken off the charger immediately when the light turns green. This has not happened, the camera will not turn on and it will only turn on when it is on the charger though it will not take pcitures even with a memory card in. I am getting very frustrated. Thanks

Battery failure I charge my Pentax Optio S5z battery on the charger then put it in the camera when it is fully charged (green light comes on on the charger) but the camera won't work ie. battery is dead, as i put it back in the charger and the light comes up red like it is flat again. Sometimes I just leave it in the camera and it seems to work after a few days, then may last for a day or sometimes for ages. I'm guessing the battery is stuffed but I want to check before I buy a new one. Please

The only solution for that is to buy a new battery. I had the same problem with my canon 900Ti (NB5 battery), died after less than a year. It probably exceeded it's battery cycle life... have a nice day! ...

I am trying to to charge panasonic lumix dmc-zs5 camera battery with it. As soon as I plugged it in showed a red light (power) on the charger. Even after inserted the camera battery the the red light on the power remained but there was no light or indicator for charging. After an hour when I used it in my camera it still was not charged. I could not find any user manual on the net so don't really know how to charge my camera battery.

User manuals can be downloaded from the support section of the Panasonic website. ...

I have an Olympus camera FE-4000. The battery charger LI-41CBB won't charge the battery. There's a yellow light on the charger that blinks on and off. Normally, the yellow light stays on until the battery is fully charged and then it turns green.

I Have a Fujifilm Finepix J37 that wont turn on, I assumed that the battery had run down so put it on charge and no lights came on, usually it lights up on the back of the camera when its charging! Faulty battery or charger? Anything to try before I purchase a new battery or charger?

I have an Olympus e510 that I bought new 2 years ago. The other day I got it out to use it and it will not turn on. I purchased a new battery, charged it, and it still will not work. When I removed the battery from the charger the light on the charger was green. I decided after the camera would not turn on I put the battery back on the charger. At that time the charger was showing a red light. Could the charger be going bad?

Battery charger Hi all - dumb question maybe...I just purchased a second-hand Coolpix 5400 from a camera shop, with accessories but without the original box or power cord for the MH-53 battery charger.
I am trying to get the battery charger to work, but to no avail. I already had a couple of figure-of-eight power cords, so I tried to use those with the charger. But the charger appears dead, the charge light is not lighting up with either of them.
Do I need a proprietary or a specially-rate

The battery for my camera does not charge when I put it in the charger. I have had the camera and charger for about a year without any problems until now. When I put the battery in the charger, the green light stays on and does not become yellow. I know that my battery needs to be charged because when I turn on my camera, it dies. Do I need a new charger? Or is my camera or battery not working?

Assuming the camera is working fine:Probably the battery, but can't be certain without testing. They do wear out from use. ...
